One of our zones. We have 4 zones. Each zone has about 3,200 tomato plants.

Picture taken today at 69 days. Compared to a neighbour's Platinum tomato variety of similar age, my variety is only about half as tall. The fruits on my tomatoes are bigger. We are going to compare total yield of both varieties at the end of the season. Platinum is a formidable variety, buy I think my variety will give it a run for its money. 1 Like

DeLaRue:What's wrong with mop? What variety is this? I am planting Jarrah Rz F1 in grow bags though it meant for dry season. I learnt if gap is followed, I should get up to 70 fruits of 100g each. Some get more but fertilizers to achieve this are Urea 46:0:0, npk 15:15:15, mop 0:0:60, limestone with a magnesium supplement like Epsom salt. A magnesium fertilizer will be best if available. 1 Like 1 Share

DeLaRue:@DeLaRue pls which variety did you plant? I like the fruiting. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by vonxe: 11:03pm On May 05, 2021 |
DeLaRue: From experience, comparing farms should take a lot of things in cognisance 1. Are both lands fertile same way? Farm close to each other may have almost thesame fertilty 2. Did both of you follow thesame agronomic practices ? 3. Did you plant thesame time? Aside, What was the total N , P and K you used? Once I transplant am planning to use supergro with both my pesticides every week, is this ok? Seems your staking method is different, can you please share your method |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by DeLaRue: 4:48pm On May 06, 2021 |
vonxe: I think it can be useful to check what others in your field are doing & compare to see what works best. If my colleague's Platinum performs better than my variety, then I'd probably plant half of one & half of the other next time. The chap is also looking to do the same. It's all about getting the most bang for our efforts. We are not shareholders in the seed companies, so no head-in-sand allegiance to any particular seed. I use Florida weave staking method. Google or You tube search should yield useful materials. |

emmaachile2: MOP is ok and cheaper. I would use it if I was applying it myself. With about 14,000 plants, we are forced to rely on day-jobbers for things like fertilizer application, and I'm sorry to say this, but they don't follow instructions. With MOP, you have to apply it carefully, at a safe distance from the tomato stem. If MOP touches a tomato plant's stem, it dries the stem and ultimately weakens the plant. Basically, you need a patient & experienced hand to apply it. With Potassium Nitrate, application to the root area poses less risk of harm to the plant. Easier for an inexperienced person to apply. 1 Like |

DeLaRue:Just a slice of the question I asked before. What variety did you plant?. I wish you well in your harvest. |

Thanks for all the tutorial and guidelines. Please can someone spray the land with worm force with sprayer before transplanting instead of putting it into hole one by one? Or mix fungicide with insecticide to spray the before transplanting to avoid nematodes? |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:37am On May 15, 2021 |
dutch4u:what is fungicide and insecticide has to do with Nematode? I never seen nor hear anybody spraying nematicide,it either broadcasting or hole to hole. |
Re: Step By Step Improve Way Of Cultivating TOMATOES by vonxe: 3:53pm On May 15, 2021 |
dutch4u:My method is that I put my nematicide into my spray tank and spray hole to hole. Putting dry nematicide into hole to hole maybe tedious but diluting with water and spraying into hole to hole will be a lot easier. Hole to hole is the best way I learnt from experience people |
